Developing medical education through podcasts based on theories of personality

Introduction More traditional lecture-based teaching has ruled medicine for generations. However, with the advancement of technology, a more modern approach to medical education can be developed. Podcasts are recordings, unlimited by time and space, that can act as extremely effective educational tools. Podcasts are a new approach that have the potential to transform the way medicine is taught. Objectives This research project discusses the process of creating a podcast series for medical students based around the topic of personality theories. The aim of the project was not only to give medical students a more efficient and accessible way to learn, but also to tackle an undertaught topic in psychiatry. The podcast series I have developed explores the history of personality psychology, beginning with Greek philosopher Hippocrates and his theory of the 4 temperaments and travelling all the way up to the theories of the 20th century, ending the series by discussing the most modern approach to assessing personality; trait theory. The topic of personality theories is essential psychology to grasp in order to fully comprehend psychiatric disorders learnt later in medical school. Methods The process of creating educational podcasts did not come without its challenges. The vastness and complexity of information I came across was difficult and time consuming to narrow down and pick the most important points for medical students to understand. The biggest challenge I had was lack of clinical experience in psychiatry. Being involved in creating educational resources as a medical student, with little to no clinical experience in psychiatry, meant textbooks and primary literature were my key sources of information. However, I was aware this way of learning psychiatry was limiting; learning from textbooks alone may give a skewed picture of psychiatric conditions that can only be gained by seeing and learning from patients in the clinical environment. It allowed me to reflect on the use of online clinical videos in replacement of experiencing psychiatric placements. Results The Podcasts themselves were crafted based on information from the most recent podcast research. They were made within the ideal timing and style to maintain audience engagement and allow listeners to process and retain new knowledge and make the most out of the learning style. Conclusions They utilised Kolb’s learning style and allowed listeners to take an active role in the processing of new information by asking several questions throughout each episode. This technique especially gave learners opportunity to reflect on their own bias and change their perception about new concepts they were presented with. By the end of the production time, I realised the podcasts needed constant summaries in order to be successful learning materials. Disclosure of Interest None Declared

Introduction: Schizotypal disorder is conceptualized as a stable personality pathology (Cluster A) and as a latent manifestation of schizophrenia.It can be understood as an attenuated form of psychosis or high-risk mental state, which may precede the onset of schizophrenia or represent a more stable form of psychopathology that doesn't necessarily progress to psychosis.Objectives: To exemplify the continuum of psychosis Methods: Review of scientific literature based on a relevant clinical case.Results: 39-year-old male living with his parents.He started studying philosophy.He is a regular cannabis user and has an aunt with schizophrenia.He's admitted to psychiatry for behavioral disturbance in public.He refers to having been hearing a beeping noise in his street for months, what he interprets as a possible way of being watched due to his past ideology.Without specifying who and why, he sometimes shouts "until it bursts" to stop the noise and he thinks that his neighbours alerted the police about his behavior.During the interview he alludes to Milgram's experiment, saying that throughout history there have been crimes against humanity and those who pointed them out were labeled "crazy".His father refers that he has always been "strange" and with certain extravagant revolutionary ideas and thoughts.He doesn't maintain social relationships and dedicates himself to reading and writing.

Dependent Personality Disorder and Intimate Partner Violence: the "Perfect Marriage" Introduction: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is broadly defined as physical, sexual, or psychological harm inflicted by a current or former romantic partner or spouse.Unfortunately, even nowadays, the prevalence rates of IPV victimization are still very high, with over one third of women reporting any contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking and nearly half having psychological aggression in their lifetime.Amongst a complex network of risk factors for IPV, Personality disorders (PD) are one of the most researched.Defined as enduring patterns of inner experiences and behaviors, PD play a significant role in IPV, causing perpetrators to recidivate and victims of IPV to stay in violent relationships.Objectives: A case based approach is used to illustrate the association between Dependent Personality Disorder and Intimate Partner Violence Methods: Case Report and Brief Literature review Results: Case: We present a case of a 65-year-old woman, long term followed by psychiatry for anxiety and depression symptoms, built upon a personality with dependent traits.The patient has been victim of intimate partner violence since her marriage, more than 40 years ago, generating significant psychopathology, functional impairment and several suicidal attempts over the years.Nonetheless, the patient feels emotionally attached and has pity for her husband.Despite this abuse had been already reported, the patient has been unable to act on the complaint, perpetuating this situatuon over time.The insight is totally preserved since the victim has full conscience of the causality between perpetrator cumulative abuse and her psychological and physical suffering.This case supports research in this area which had found that individuals with high levels of dependent PD traits tend to have higher ratings of relationship satisfaction and see their relationship in a more positive light, causing them to downplay the IPV they experience.Conclusions: The prevalence of IPV poses a serious public health concern, particularly given the increased risk of physical and mental health problems that have been linked to IPV, such as chronic pain, depression, post traumatic stress disorder, substance use, and suicidal ideation, as well as a host of other negative outcomes.Individuals with high levels of dependent PD traits are prone to victimization, clinicians should be alert.
